Subject: bug#5180: 23.1.90; Secondary selection and M-w
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:53:40 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <A6DD7538802843BD9A534971B79ED703@us.oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m0vdgdmy7s.fsf@cam.ac.uk>
I never noticed it before, but I can confirm that it happens, but only if the
the Meta key is pressed before releasing the mouse button.
> If often use mouse to select a piece of text and then hit M-w to copy

> The region will be turned into a secondary selection defeating the

> I have found this annoying and I wonder how to fix it without
> disabling all secondary selection bindings.
